The Nature of Beauty



After sitting in my house for the bulk of the day due to snow and cold weather, cabin fever started to take over. Out of boredom, I headed to my kitchen and begin whipping up several beauty products.  Less than two hours later, and straight from my kitchen, I had an avocado scalp cream, avocado facial moisturizer, brown sugar scrub, and a cocoa body polish.  All great for the body and perfectly edible!  I used both the facial and body scrub on myself, and the scalp cream for my daughter.  This morning, my skin looks and feels good, and my child's hair is shining.

Now, if you are not quite into homemade beauty products just yet, here are some natural products/brands that I've tried over the years and loved.  They are safe to use, earth-friendly, and winning products if you have sensitive skin. I have listed my favorites, but these lines consists of many more great products.  Check out the individual websites for additional information on the companies and their products!

Self Care- Make it a Habit

Self care habits in progress. I feel so good when I take time out to treat myself. It pleases me  even more when the practice is inexpensive. Polishing my nails, at-home facial, or sometimes a lengthy shower or bath.  It's extremely important to make time for yourself. I know we hear this often, but self care really promotes mental and physical health. If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling  overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care.  Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html
